My first Visual Dare entry. A prompt for writing a 100 words story. Picture courtesy of the prompt.

Coming back across the plain to the farm of my grandparents, was also a travel down forgotten roads of my childhood. As I approached the farmhouse on the overgrown road, with the wind playing forgotten melodies, I saw granpa’s old truck, left abandoned where he had his heart-attack
I went down to the river where Granny had ended her life, and recalled the stern ladies of the orphanage, and how I still managed to get my lawyers degree.
And now the irony that I was here to claim the property on behalf of the same company that altered my youth.

An entire life story in only 100 words? How did you do that? Perfect!
Thank you. Have written lots of stories on twitter. 100 words felt like a novel 🙂
A great story (or novel).
Amazing just how much story can be squeezed into 100 words.
Glad to see you at Visual Dare – look forward to more stories in the coming weeks.
Thank you Mike. It helps to write poetry and vss 🙂 your tweets have been a great inspiration for me.
Great flow of a life coming full circle
Thank you, it takes a reader’s fantasy to fill in the blanks.
I love the fact that the story burrows out of the desolation to a “full circle” moment that yet ends with a light tang of revenge. Beautifully ambiguous in that it could turn into a revenge story that only grows more sour, or a redemption story that only grows sweeter as he reclaims the old farm. Well done!! Hope to see more of you in future Visual Dares!!
Will do my best, writes mostly poetry. But 100 words lends itself quite well to poetic prose.
